Sophie Turner wants to drop the child abduction claims she made against her estranged husband Joe Jonas
The 27-year-old ‘Game of Thrones’ actress filed a lawsuit against her singer ex, 34, in September and requested to secure “the immediate return of children wrongfully removed or wrongfully retained”, according to court documents.
Three months after the former reached an amicable custody agreement over their kids, Page Six has reported attorneys for the former couple have asked a judge in their federal case in New York to dismiss Sophie’s previous filing – in which she claimed the Jonas Brothers singer abducted daughters, Willa, three, and 18-month-old Delphine amid their divorce.
Even though the judge hasn’t yet signed off on the request, the fact that both parties are in agreement on the matter means it is highly likely to be approved.
Sophie had claimed in her September filing Joe started the “wrongful retention” of their kids on the 20th of that month.
She added they agreed during Christmas 2022 they would make Britain their “forever home” and start looking for schools for their oldest daughter.
Joe then claimed British-born Sophie withheld their daughters’ passports so they couldn’t leave America, but he denied he ever “abducted” their girls.
Joe’s representative said at the time: “Less than 24 hours later, Sophie advised that she wanted to take the children permanently to the UK.
“Thereafter, she demanded via this filing that Joe hand over the children’s passports so that she could take them out of the country immediately.
“This is an unfortunate legal disagreement about a marriage that is sadly ending. “When language like ‘abduction’ is used, it is misleading at best, and a serious abuse of the legal system at worst.”
Joe filed for divorce from Sophie in September 2023 after four years of marriage and the pair have since been locked in a bitter custody battle over their two children.
In October, Sophie, who married Joe in May 2019, reached a temporary custody agreement for the kids that will last throughout January 2024.
Sophie has since moved on with British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson, 29, while Joe has been seen out and about with 33-year-old model Stormi Bree.
